Back to Ahimsa

I think the way we can be most kind in the world is to break everything down to the most simplest way. Use common sense, don't be a jerk and don't do things to people that you wouldn't want done to you. Right? Today I am finding that too many people have trouble with the common sense thing.

On a more thoughtful note, I think its important to consider the following when you have the urge to be mean, defensive or aggressive towards someone...that you cannot always know what is going on for a person and sometimes you can only imagine that they could be having the worst day of their life.

Yoga and Topshop

Hi Friends.

I am taking Yoga again. I took a long break from it due to awkward instructors who touch too much and chant Hare Krishna songs. My friend Carol became a certified Yoga instructor awhile ago and it helped me get back into it...HOWEVER, I still have an issue with the touching. Now, don't get me wrong, I take well to instruction and I want to know how to do something correctly...but there is no for reason someone I don't know to touch me for more than 5 seconds. Its extremely invasive and shows disrespect to my personal space. There are things called gently nudging and verbal instruction. I don't get it. I also find if you show up to someone's Yoga class frequently they feel they have license to touch you EVEN MORE! It is sometimes disappointing because all of this touching just ends up defeating the purpose of the practice...it makes me lose my focus and feel all ragey and angsty. OH BTW, I took Yoga this morning. :)

I used to wish on all kinds of stars that they would open two stores in the US. Mango and TopShop. This was because everytime I went to Asia I would stock up on clothes from these two places. Now that they are here I find myself completely uninterested in shopping where everyone else is shopping...I am just haterading today. I also must hate on the hipsters that walk around with the same TopShop canvas tote I see everywhere. Pukesville, USA.



























P.S. It has been confirmed that I will be the owner of these lovelies in June thanks to one of my Shoe Fairies.

More than just tree hugging.

Its not the physical act of yoga that bothers me. Doing yoga is actually very enjoyable and a good workout. My main problem is dealing with yoga people and their attitudes. Whether its tree hugging or just trying to evangelically over-promote some kind of new age zen lifestyle or having to be in class next to the shirtless, sweaty, hairy yoga guy wearing little shorts (you know who I'm talking about!)...its freaking annoying! Anyways...the following encompasses all the things that annoy me. Love Always, E.
